Lego Creation: Serenity

Adrian Drake created this 135 pound, 7 foot long, 70,000-brick minifig scale model of the Serenity from Firefly from the Quantum Mechanix blueprints. According to Drake, it took 475 hours to create over the course of 21 months.

He debuted the model at the Brickfair in Chantilly, Virginia. The ship incorporates all of the interior sets, except
the engine room, which couldn't be included without compromising the physical integrity of the model. Both the cargo bay and drive light up, the engines rotate, the wings swing out, and the shuttle detaches. It’altogether amazing!
